Ridiculously easy milk tart!
July 6, 2010 in Uncategorized
At long last – a food post!
Morning everyone! I just had to share this easy delicious recipe with you. I made this over the weekend. The nice thing is that you make this in the microwave oven so there is no need to be scared of burning the filling for the milk tart.
You’ll need:
1 pack tennis biscuits
1 tin condense milk
3 cups warm water
15ml margarine
100ml maizena (corn flour)
75ml cold water
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 eggs
Cinnamon
Arrange the tennis biscuits in a dish, making a base for the mixture. Mix the condense milk, margarine and warm water and microwave for 3 minutes.
Mix maizena, cold water, vanilla essence, eggs and salt separately. Combine the two mixtures. Microwave for more or less 5 minutes on high until the mixture is nice and thick. Slowly pour mixture over the tennis biscuits.
Crush one or two tennis biscuits with a rolling pin and sprinkle the cinnamon and crumbs over the mixture. Let the mixture set in the fridge and enjoy!
Otherwise it’s going well with me and little “boontjie”! I feel so much better and I even have my appetite back! Yippee! When I think about it I can hardly remember feeling so sick a few weeks ago! I’m 18 weeks now – in 2 weeks time we will hopefully find out if it’s a little sister or brother for little one. Little one has been visiting with oupa and ouma in Ladysmith for the school holidays and she’s coming home this weekend. I’ve missed her so much! And then it’s back to school next week Tuesday – can you believe that this long school holiday and the Soccer World Cup is almost over and out? It’s crazy!
Enjoy the rest of the week!
Hugs
Minnie

you don’t crush the biscuit base and set it with butter? I’m suspicious of microwave desserts. they always seem to explode or overcook with me!
kattiemajinks said on July 6, 2010
No need! As the mixture is still hot when you pour it over the biscuits it softens automatically! Just remember to wisk the mixture after a few minutes or so then it will be perfect and without any lumps!

Thanks Zabwan!
It really is very easy and yummy! Just wisk after a few minutes in the microwave – sorry I forgot to mention that! xxx

It’s a pleasure Rea! Enjoy your day!

but then wont’ I ahve a soggy base?? not liking that idea either!
I may have to be a traditionalist on this! (And tennis biscuits are near impossible to get hold of in the UK)

It’s a pleasure Madmom – hope you’ll like it!

Pleasure Silly! Enjoy!

Oh sorry – I didn’t know you weren’t from here!
No not at all – for me it tasted the same as when you crush the biscuits with butter. Just quicker and easier to do I think – do you have a substitute over there for tennis biscuits – something with coconut?
bronnie.l said on July 6, 2010
just not based in SA at present. Dont actually LIKE tennis biscuits cos of the coconut. I was thinking possibly those digestive things but they are irritatingly round so crushing with butter is probably better anyways. but i think our family crustless milktart wins anyways (even if its not ‘traditional’)
kattiemajinks said on July 6, 2010
I’m also not very good at this Iky – I remember burning the filling before and it was full of lumps! Very easy in the microwave!
kattiemajinks said on July 6, 2010
Oh ok! I was so in the mood for milktart this past weekend – I was actually looking for a nice crustless recipe but found this one instead! You must post your recipe too! Keep well!

Ag dankie! Dis omtrent lekker om terug te wees – en om normaal te kan eet! Ek kan nie glo hoe vinnig die tyd om gaan nie – en die skole begin weer volgende week Dinsdag (dan is my “vakansie” ook verby!)
Dis regtig ‘n baie lekker tert – jy moet dit probeer!

Ek wens ek kan weesr ‘n bietjie vakansie vat!
Hierdie laaste week of wat, is bietjie erg! Werk meeste aande tot na 6, en dan nog naweke ook…4 slapies, dan party ek (of slaap rustiger sal ook doen!)
Ons moet bietjie kuier weer! Bietjie plan maak dalk later die maand!
Lekker middag/aand! xx

Shame ek kan glo jy is nou bietjie moeg – miskien is dit tyd vir ‘n lekker lang naweek wegbreek of wat?
Klink lekker – ons sal bietjie ietsie reel! Lekker aand vir jou ook!
